Give the child up for adoption. The issue is that the mother will have to go through labor? This is a life.

Would the state be responsible for all costs relating to the pregnancy and birth if they force a rape victim to bring it to term ?

State will make more money off their taxes than any cost of birth. Especially if you consider only the real cost of delivering a baby. They'll probably profit more off then birth alone than it would cost. Not as much as selling off the baby parts mind you

That's a non answer.

Let me rephrase, in a society that values life above all else, would the state that forces a rape victim to carry the baby to term be fiscally responsible for her up to the time of birth and possible subsequent counselling required ?

The state would be. And then a baby is grown up in the failed foster system and turns out to be a drain on society.

Ding ding ding !

No exemptions from abortion laws mean a stronger welfare state.

Then how on earth did we ever get along before abortion and welfare were a thing. You act like humans didn’t exist prior to 1960.

Ok

That's an extremely retarded reply considering the context but... ok.

How so? Abortion wasn’t a thing in any real sense before Roe v Wade, really. They happened but were rare and often resulted in terrible complications if not death. The welfare state that you refer to didn’t exist until about the same time abortion was legalized. So how does your logic follow. If I were an ignoramus in equal measure to you, I’d say welfare seems to increase abortion rates not the opposite as you claim. Of course, I think both claims are absolutely absurd.

What is also absurd is the notion that abortion should be allowed because of increased welfare usage (which you have not proved in any way). So, murder is justified because of money? If so, where do you draw that line?
